Hi Bloggers
Its all change again for grandad and the family,I had a call at the end of last week from grandads present social worker who has been completely helpful and attentive to my grandfathers needs.
She has only been my grandads social worker for a short time but highlighted a lot of issues both financial and practical that were happening at the home.
This lady has done what the family feel a social worker should do and that is to protect the client and engage in communication with the family and make a positive change to peoples lives, She will be a loss to British social care.
This lady has decided to move abroad to a new job, I have thanked her and wished her all the best for the future.
I also asked who the new social worker would be and was informed that they had no idea yet.
So grandad will have a new social worker assigned after the 29th September.
She alone has restored some faith that there are good social workers out there possibly all in New Zealand lol.
With the county councils actions in the past we could be left in the dark again for 3 months not knowing who is financially responsible.
Past experience has taught us as a family that when a danger exists around grandad we cannot rely on the people responsible to react proffesionally.
I requested that when the new Social Worker is assigned that she or he will get in contact with immediate effect and not base her or his opinions of the family on the social care record as many other social workers have done to there failure.
In other news
The CEO of the trust is being helpful but we still have issues in gaining the social care record so it is with great reluctance that we have had to go back to the ICO with our further evidence of grandads many authorizations prior that were ignored by both parties.
The only reason we need to have visibility of this file is for accountability of its contents as what we have seen to date shows a serious failure in accuracy, This affects all of us when it comes to any form of social care
They would like to think our grandad fully lacks any capacity and will never regain any,This is an insult to genuinely tired old man.
The family are currently considering a private evaluation of his capacity as it appears better now than a year ago.
Time will tell folks
